LYF Water 8 Root:- Rooting a phone means removing default security restrictions on your phone. Security restrictions don’t allow third-party applications that change or delete operating systems files. Upon trying to install such apps while your phone is not rooted will result in a prompt error named “Application Blocked”. This security restriction saves your phone to be jacked or bricked by malicious applications available on the various community forums and websites.
I want to clarify here is that I am not against rooting an android phone, in fact, I have rooted my old phone, and its a very great experience to customize your phone according to the way you like but I am a bit concerned about the security loop that may at some point harm your privacy. Anyway, that’s the major risk of rooting a phone. If you are aware of the risk involved in rooting the android phone and still wish to root then follow the step by step methods below:-

How to Root LYF Water 8
Before following one of our methods to root your device please activate debugging mode in your smartphone.
1) Using Kingroot App
- Download and Install kingroot apk file by following the link (http://d.kingoapp.com/default/KingoRoot.apk).
- Once the app is downloaded on your smartphone tap on the app for installation.

In case none of the root applications works on your phone which is really rare then you can try Systemless Root.
